Fuel deficit in

Russia has suspended almost all fuel exports. This decision will affect countries that depend on gasoline and diesel supplies from the Russian Federation, have been admitted in British intelligence. There was a shortage of gasoline and diesel fuel on the territory of the Russian Federation. This was reported in the UK Ministry of Defense in X (Twitter). "In recent weeks, Russian customers have most likely experienced a local lack of gasoline and diesel," the message said.

They noted that the lack of petroleum products is not a direct consequence of the Russian-Ukrainian war. British intelligence believes that a fuel deficit can be caused by a number of factors, including an increase in the demand of the agricultural sector, the annual service of oil refining plants and attractive export prices. Russia tries to stabilize domestic markets, so on Thursday, on September 21, almost all exports of gasoline and diesel have stopped.

This decision is likely to limit the supply of fuel, which will most affect the countries that depend on Russian fuel, are convinced of the British Defense Ministry. We will remind, on September 21 Roszmi reported that in Russia they plan to change the fuel market in order to stop its rise in price. Viceremier of the Russian Federation Alexander Novak said that the Kremlin has given the task of keeping prices at the same level.
